The best restaurants serving Indian food in England

Hosted an 80th birthday here for twenty people. Food was amazing, staff were wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble & it all went like clockwork.

In these difficult times we thought we would treat ourselves to a takeaway. We had been told that the Lal Bagh was very good but as we didn't know the town too well we asked a local where it was. They told us that Lal Bagh was a bit of a walk from where we had parked and that the Indian Village was just around the corner and they said it was also good, sadly the meal was very disappointing. The mains and the rice were far too salty to a point where you could barely taste the flavours, both the mains were very thin, very similar base and taste. On a plus side the chicken pieces, although small, were of good quality. Considering it was £34 for two mains, two rice and one nan bread, they hadn't even included a couple of complimentary poppadums' or salad, which we always receive in all the 'other' Indian restaurants we use. Sadly we won't be returning but will definitely try Lal Bagh next time.

Visited on a Friday evening with friends that I haven’t seen in a while. I liked everything about the restaurant except for the live music. To have music that loud in a restaurant made it extremely difficult to talk as we could barely hear one another. The place already has a real buzz about it so the music added nothing. People go with their friends to restaurants to talk - not to listen to music. Enjoyed the food though.

Appayon is consistently fantastic. I regularly have take aways and occasionally eat in. I’ve never had a poor experience. Always friendly staff and the Currys taste delicious. I would happily recommend this restaurant as being one of the finest curry restaurants around. Thank you Appayon.

We’ve been using this restaurant for many years. To dine in or take out. Always lovely and welcoming staff and delicious food. Majority of my close friends and family locally or who live in surrounding areas all share our love for Vakas. Always our go to Indian restaurant.

Visited on Christmas Eve. The restaurant was very busy but the staff were as welcoming as usual. The service was spot on and the food as good as usual. Always enjoy our visit to Amans and they always make us feel very welcome.

I came to this place to have Indian taste but the momos that I ordered were quite bad in taste and green colour was added in that which was giving it a shabby look. Services are also not good here. The girl at reception just put the plate on the counter without tissues. Even spicy chutney and mayonees not added to the momos menu. Should improve the quality of food and service.

Friendly welcome. It looked like most diners had a voucher like us and that did not bother the Vaasu team a bit. Excellent service, delicious Royal Cosmopolitan. But the food... heaven. Beautifully presented, stunning flavours.

Such a shame, has changed hands and didn’t like the food. Had a special offer for early diners but even at a cheap price I wouldn’t eat. No flavour, bad taste and a waste of money. So sorry but not my place to go to anymore.

Decent Indian take away and restaurant.

Really good meal here - good range of dishes on menu with a few we hadn’t tried before elsewhere- very tasty, well seasoned food, excellent service- we’ll be back

Friendly and attentive service. The whole meal for a family of four was superb. We had poppadoms, starters and mains with no desert. It was spotlessly clean Aland the price was very reasonable. I don’t usually write reviews but felt I had to it was so good.

Absolutely delicious food! We always have king prawn purée nearly every Tuesday! Great service and great staff! End of the month entertainment is brilliant as always! We love this place.

We booked this on a friends recommendation and had the most fantastic meal here last night! Greeted by a friendly gentleman who was serving drinks and brought us food that was beautifully cooked and presented. We even came home with a doggy bag - and I have to say they were the best leftovers I’ve ever eaten! Honestly this place is an absolute gem - and we’ll be back again soon! Thank you!

Was recommended this place by my brother. We are here on holiday and wanted a nice Indian to go to. The location of this restaurant you wouldn't expect to see a restaurant hidden there. Once inside it is clean and modern. The waiters are young and trendy and very attentive and friendly. The restaurant was very busy which is a good sign. We ordered the set meal for 4, not only was it presented well, it was tasty and lots of it. Will definitely return here when we are next down from London. Good value for money!
